Brothers

Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea

How do you deal with a sibling who does not share your value system and criticizes it constantly... often obusively?

Ooops... wrong branch.

No and I am NOT fighting with my brother!! :)

But the obvious answer from us on this branch would be to send the offensive brother off to a desert island for a few years.

My friend's brother is a first class prick... well, what I know of him anyways.

When the Samoans met him, I'm sure cannibalism would be re-instated.

desert island- no sense in currupting the natives.

Fully agreed. However we would not have to re-instate cannibalism as we have dogs now for that, lol.

If that is too harsh, dog-free Nuutele Island off Lalomanu Beach had been a leper colony once and the village remains are still there. So accomodation could be organized, food and water are available as well. There is a beach too - facing to the seaward side, not to Lalomanu, so he would even be out of sight. Might be an option as a perfect retreat. Polynesian Airlines could drop him (by parachute? Or without?) on their way to Pago.

Maybe the brother is right and YOU are wrong?

naaa- no way. The brother is always wrong- just ask me- I had two.
